If someone hurt you, it’s important to ensure you don’t have any out-of-pocket costs. This means you can expect to be compensated for any bills related to your medical care, property damage, and time off work. Your personal injury lawyer should also request compensation for future medical care, as well as money to help make up for your mental anguish and emotional distress. Our team will tell you what damages you’re entitled to once we review the details of your personal injury claim.
Many crimes in Georgia result in jail time, fines, and loss of certain privileges, such as driving. This is why it’s so important to hire a criminal defense attorney before you decide how to plead. When you have a lawyer defending you, there’s a chance your case will be dropped or charges reduced. This can help you avoid time in jail and other serious penalties, which can be nearly impossible to do on your own. So, if you want someone on your side who knows criminal law well, come to us for the defense you deserve.
After being arrested, your first action should be to listen to the orders the police give so you don’t get more charges added for resisting arrest. Your next step should be to tell them you would like to remain silent until your lawyer is present. When you’re given the chance to make a phone call, contact our law firm to explain your situation and begin your criminal defense case. We’ve handled countless criminal cases in Georgia and pride ourselves on helping the accused retain their freedom whenever possible.
If you were injured on someone else’s property, you might have a premises liability case to pursue. This means the homeowner, retailer, property manager, or anyone else who owns or manages the property was at fault for your injuries. If you can prove there was a dangerous condition that they knew about or should have known about, you can usually collect compensation. For example, if you got hurt due to a broken step, missing handrail, or uneven sidewalk, you can bring a premises liability claim against the liable party. Our personal injury lawyer will review your case to determine if it makes sense to pursue it.
If you have a criminal record, you should consider trying to get it expunged. This means you can seal or restrict your record so no one can see the crimes that have been expunged from it. Not all crimes qualify for expungement, as usually only misdemeanors and certain felonies are eligible. Violent crimes that victimized someone else, such as stalking or armed robbery, are not usually allowed to be expunged. However, if you were arrested but had charges dismissed or won your case, you can request expungement. Contact our criminal defense attorney to discuss your options for sealing your record.
Most cases are settled out of court, so you will likely not have to see a courtroom during your case. This is especially true if you’re making a personal injury claim since insurance companies typically agree to a settlement in order to avoid court. However, if they don’t settle, or if you’ve been charged with a serious criminal offense, you will need a lawyer with trial experience. Carl Chapman P.C. is an experienced trial attorney who can take your case to court with confidence, so you can rest assured you’re in good hands if your case doesn’t settle.
If you got a traffic ticket for speeding, reckless driving, or other offenses in Georgia, you should contact our law firm before paying the ticket. We can let you know if we see a strong defense angle for your situation or if just paying it would make the most sense. In many cases, it’s not just the fines you want to avoid but also the points that may go on your license, which can lead to license suspension. We can take a look at your driving record and traffic violations to determine the right move for you.
A DUI can lead to months in jail and thousands of dollars in fines, so it’s definitely worth it to consider fighting this charge. Even if there is proof of a high BAC, a criminal defense lawyer may be able to prove that the arresting officer made a mistake or ignored your legal rights after pulling you over. You may be surprised at the defense angles we can prove for a charge like this, so do not give up hope if you’re facing a DUI. We can help.
